Yeah it’s tuff I only was successful once overwintering one

Other two times I tired they died I think I never watered them enough while they we’re dormant but I’m not sure

The one that survived one year had like 5 green leaves all winter

I think killed them that way as well

I took the leave cover off last week and a lot of the garlic leaves were yellow.
The photo is after 5 days and the leaves have recovered and look better.
3 different types of garlic and I have never water them since Oct 10.

This is what I'm pulling off my 6 calabrian chili plants per day right now. I have about half left to harvest when ripe. Should fill a couple large ziplock bags. View attachment 110497

Rosetta's Calabrian Pepper

Capsicum annuum This variety came to us in the form of a few dried peppers in a box from Rosetta Costantino in California.

There are some still in small cells.

Purple undersides and veins are from too much grow light intensity. After a long internet search. I found that answer more satisfactory than 10 others. It's the same method I use to prove my way is best to my wife.

I posted our perennial cauliflower idea on the dinner thread but I thought I would put it here as well. We leave our cauliflower plants in place after harvesting the heads and they keep producing in April year after year. During the summer they get lots of aphids but the plants seem just as vigorous come spring. Here’s a pic of today’s harvest. (Lots more to come).

Great success!

More tomatoes tomorrow.
